About the Tryouts
Every spring, Eastside Kickers holds player evaluations to assist in team placement for the upcoming fall season. During these evaluations, players will be asked to play with many different groups of players inside of their own age group. They will also be asked to take basic coaching instruction and implement it onto the field. Each player will be evaluated on their athleticism, technical ball skills, tactical awareness (spacing, identifying open space, placement of their teammates, etc.) and competition skills (aggression, contribution to winning match ups, adapting style of play to their competition, etc.). Eastside Kickers only focus is assisting players to discover their full potential and ensuring these player can contribute to competitive teams. Therefore, Eastside Kickers accepts players of all skill levels. The evaluation process is simply to ensure each player has necessary attitude, aptitude and potential to improve as a player and contribute to Eastside Kickers. On average 90% of players that participate in player evaluations every year are accepted onto an Eastside Kickers Roster in the fall. You will be notified about your players team placement within 2 weeks of their Eastside Kickers Evaluation. Please come and participate in our evaluation process and join the fun of Eastside Kickers Soccer in the fall.Requirements for Participation:
- Love of Soccer (Mandatory)
- 1 Weekday Practice Per Week (Mandatory)
